About the Role

We are seeking a versatile PCB Design Engineer to join our team. This role is a unique opportunity for an individual with strong skills in both hardware design and low-level software development. The ideal candidate will be responsible for designing and developing efficient and reliable Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layouts and writing the corresponding firmware to bring our robotic systems to life.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop PCB layouts for robotic systems, with a focus on optimizing size, power consumption, and signal integrity.
• Collaborate with hardware engineers to define the electrical architecture, ensuring optimal component placement and system performance.
• Perform schematic capture, multilayer routing, and design rule checks (DRC) to ensure manufacturability and compliance with industry standards.
• Address thermal management, EMI/EMC compliance, and high-speed signal integrity in PCB designs.
• Conduct simulations and analyses to validate design reliability and functionality.
• Generate and manage Gerber files for seamless PCB manufacturing and assembly.
• Develop and debug firmware for microcontrollers and embedded systems, ensuring seamless integration with the PCB hardware.
• Coordinate with manufacturing teams and suppliers to support fabrication processes.
• Maintain detailed design documentation, including schematics, layout files, BOMs (Bill of Materials), and firmware code.

Required Skills and Experience

• Educational Background: B.E./B.Tech in Electronics and Communication, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Experience: 1–4 years of experience in both PCB design and firmware development.
